maxi priest - close to you

She was A Jezebel, this Brixton queen
Livin? the life like a back street dream
Tellin? mi lies when the truth was clear
I think she knew what I wanted to hear

Spinnin? mi ?round like a wheel on fire
Walkin? on tightrope, my love?s high wire
Fatal attraction is where I?m at
There?s no escapin? me

I just wanna be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you
And show you the way I feel

I feel love
When I?m lying in the midnight hour
Holding you just like a dream
Love is never what it seems

When we touch
And you?re holding me the way you feel
Girl, you make my dreams come true
You make my dreams come true

I just wanna be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you (Huh)
And show you the way I feel (Huh-huh-huh)

She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars
She holds mi back or she too far
Windin? mi up just to let her down
So emotional, gagged and bound

There?s more to this than meets the eye
A devil woman locked inside
With the full moon rising, I was scared
I think I was possessed

I just wanna be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you (Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh)
And show you the way I feel

I feel love
Every time your body?s next to mine
Something deep inside of me
Wants to love you endlessly

When we touch
Girl, you don?t know how it makes me feel
I just can?t believe it?s real
I can?t believe it?s real

I just wanna be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you
And show you the way I feel

She got an attitude, I can?t explain
You never know if you?re in frame
Tying me up with elastic words
I?m on the countdown till I get heard

Her blood was hot, she burned so bright
A neon sign there in the night
It?s hard to say if I went too far
My heart still bears a scar

I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you (Huh-huh-huh-huh)

(I just wanna be close to you) She was A Jezebel, this Brookstownqueen
Livin? the life like a back street dream
Tellin? mi lies when the truth was clear
I think she knew what I wanted to hear

(I just wanna be close to you) Spinnin? mi ?round like a weed onfire
Walkin? on tightrope, my love?s high wire
Fatal attraction is where I?m at
There?s no escapin? me

I wanna be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you (I just wanna be close to you,baby)
And show you the way I feel

I wanna be close to you (Baby)
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you
And show you the way I feel

maxi priest - art of seduction

Her skin smells so beautiful.
This woman's a thrill and I'm so curious, but I already know.
She's a man-killer, pulling me in
and I'm losing my mind.
She's got a sex appeal beyond imagination
And she knows how to use it to get what she wants
Using her body and emotion
and she's using it well, using it well.
She makes me want to want her,
want to want her, want to want her
She's pulling me in, pulling me in
Want to want her, want to want her.
Pulling me in, pulling me in
using the art of seduction.
Watching the way she moves,
She gets me in the mood,
Makes me feel hot inside,
Baby, just let me ride.
I like the things you do,
So why don't you do them to me?
You got me going crazy
Baby, baby, baby.
And she knows how to use it to get what she wants
Using her body and emotion
and she's using it well, using it well.
She makes me want to want her,
want to want her, want to want her
She's pulling me in, pulling me in
Want to want her, want to want her.
Want to want her, want to want her
and I like it.

maxi priest - best of me

You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live

We shared our lives together
For so many years
Been through stormy weather
Shared the joys and tears

Though this change of feeling
Has got me so confused
Feeling so rejected
Feeling like I'm used

What more can I say
What more can I do
Seems I'm wasting my time
Trying to show you

You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live

You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live

Seems I've been to hell and back
Only just to please you
And you're still believing
I don't give a damn

Yes I've made my mistakes
With no intention to hurt you
Tried so very hard
Just to make you understand

What more can I say
What more can I do
Seems I'm wasting my time
Trying to show you

You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me

You've got the best of me girl
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live

Got the best of me, baby

What more can I do
What more can I say
Seems I'm wasting my time
Trying to show you

You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live

You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live

maxi priest - believe in love

I've seen so many things throughout my life,
the only thing I've ever seen survive the test of time;
is the strength of your lovee...
and then the right seems wrong,
and the wrong seems right,
just be careful..be strongg

Chorus:
Whatever my eyes can see,
my heart can feel,
that's why I believe in love,
knowing my eyes can see,
as sure as the deep blue see,
that's why I believe in love

You best that ever lasting smile
gotta give thanks for the way you've touched my life..
with your lovee...
and when the right seems wrong,
and the wrong seems right,
I'll be careful, I'll be strongg

whatever my eyes can see,
my heart can feel,
that's why I believe in love,
knowing my eyes can see,
as sure as the deep blue see,
that's why I believe in love

In the moments when I'm alone,
in the times when I'm not sure,
I can always call on youu..

In the moments when I'm in ?
When it seems like no ones there
There's one thing I know is true
I can always count on you..?

maxi priest - crazy love

I can hear her heartbeat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open everytime she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song

She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

She's got a fine sense of humour when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
She takes away my troubles, takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache, I go right to sleep

She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

Yes I need her in the daytime
And I need her in the night
And I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her, hug her, kiss her, hug her tight

And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin', brightens up my day
Yet it makes me righteous, yes it makes me whole
Yet it makes me mellow down to my soul

She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

maxi priest - fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of the islands
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Among the fields of the islands
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of the islands
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there´s been some that I've broken
But I swear in days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We will walk in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there´s been some that I've broken
But I swear in days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We will walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of the islands
See the children run as the sun goes down
As we lie in fields of gold
You will remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of the islands
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

maxi priest - how can we ease the pain

Waking up to a dry land
With empty glasses in their hands
To the bone I see their call
A fate for one and all

Watch relief fall from the sky
Still resources running dry

Tell me, how can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame
How can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame

I watched the children cry
No tears within their eyes
Then I ask the reason why
Life seems to be on the slide

Electing one with no feelings
Who's gonna pay for their tomorrow

Tell me, how can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame
How can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame

That's what I'd like to know
Cos it's been so long
And it seems to me to be so wrong

Life it's like a ball against the wall
A ball against the wall
If you throw love against the wall
It comes back to you
And if you throw hate against the wall
It's gonna follow you
So what we gonna do to ease the pain
(ease the pain)
(ease the pain)

How can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame
How can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame

maxi priest - just a little bit longer

You say you're hurting oh cos
They say I'm flirting oh no
You just can't take it anymore
Your friends say I'm no good for you
But in my heart I'm so true
A partner for life we can be sure
You've asked me for some time to clear your mind
I stayed away it hurt so much
Without your touch now I'm back and you say

Just a little bit longer baby
Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say
But in my head a love song plays for you and me

We played in the rain together
That feeling lives on forever
Memories that bring tears of joy
We've had our share of bad times too
Hurting each other me and you
It's brought us much closer in the end
Just too much we've both fought for
To put it all down the drain
I've stayed away just for a while
But now you're driving me insane

Just a little bit longer baby
Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say
But in my head a love song plays
Just a little bit longer baby
Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say
But in my head a love song plays for you and me

I said all there is to say now
Hoping that you'll make me stay
Believe me I'm yearning for you girl
Hope there's a place in your heart
That remembers the good from the start
Just put me back where I belong
You asked me for some time to clear your mind
I stayed away it hurt so much
Without your touch now I'm back and you say

Just a little bit longer baby
Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say
But in my head a love song plays
Just a little bit longer baby
Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say
But in my head a love song plays for you and me

maxi priest - man with the fun

If i get your name and your telephone number
We can get together baby sooner than later
But if you walk awaythen we're gonna be strangers
Won't you take the chance i can make it much better
I don't really know you but i'm trying to get over
You looked so good i just had to walk over
I wondered if your name is lisa, tammy, or mona
And if you spare the time i can tell you about me

(chorus)
Cuase i'm the man with the fun, yes i am
Yes i'm the man with the fun
I don't hit and run
Cuase i'm the man with the fun, yes i am
Yes i'm the man with the fun
I don't hit and run

I'm the type of man who can hold it
Together
And even if it rains i can be your umbrella
So tell me what to do (so i can) hold you much closer
Baby won't you give me just your name and your number
Or is there someone else i don't see no ring
And if you say no we can do our thing
It's looking like your free, is it true that you're single
So maybe we can get together and mingle

(chorus)

If i get your name and your telephone number
We can get together baby soonerthan later
But if you walk than we're gonna be strangers
So if you take the chance baby things will get better

(chorus)

Not gonna leave you
Put your trust in me baby
